Some quick friendly facts

Let's talk about the importance of electrolytes

1. When you are in a state of ketosis, your body produces less insulin, which can cause your kidneys to excrete more sodium.

2. As your body adapts to burning fat for fuel, it produces more ketones, which also require electrolytes to be balanced properly.

3. When you are on a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet like the ketogenic diet, you may not be getting enough electrolytes from food sources, leading to an imbalance in your electrolyte levels.

4. Electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium are essential for many bodily functions, including muscle contraction, nerve function, and maintaining fluid balance.

5. Sodium is particularly important for regulating blood pressure and preventing dehydration, especially when you are in a state of ketosis and excreting more sodium.

6. Some common symptoms of electrolyte imbalance during the transition to ketosis or when in ketosis include fatigue, headaches, muscle cramps, and dizziness, which can be alleviated by ensuring adequate electrolyte intake.

Hope these help!

And I touch a bit on fats, and not just about the typical keto fats potions, I talk about my point of view and what has worked for me and what hasn't. for a keto diet, might be worth the listen to pick up on lots of tips.

But some healthy fats to focus on are

1. C10 MCT Oil, is a medium-chain triglyceride that is rapidly metabolized into ketones by the liver, making it an excellent fuel source for the body in a state of ketosis. Look below for a few more details on this.

2. Avocado Oil, High in monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, avocado oil is a great source of healthy fats that can help reduce inflammation and improve heart health.

3. Olive Oil, Another source of monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, olive oil has been shown to lower cholesterol and blood pressure and may reduce the risk of heart disease. I do suggest you don't heat olive oil.

4. Coconut Oil: High in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), coconut oil can be converted into ketones by the liver, making it a good fuel source for the body in ketosis. but not as good as mct.

5. Grass-Fed Butter/Ghee: Butter and ghee are rich in conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and other healthy fats that can improve gut health, support brain function, and reduce inflammation. Please do use this fat it really is delicious and amazing for your gut.

Now, let's talk about why C10 MCT oil is considered the best for ketosis, well this is my take on it anyway.

C10 MCT oil is rapidly metabolized into ketones by the liver, which can provide a quick source of energy for the body in a state of ketosis. Unlike other MCTs, C10 is metabolized directly into ketones, without being converted into glucose first. This means that C10 MCT oil can provide a more efficient and effective source of fuel for the body in ketosis, compared to other types of MCTs. Additionally, C10 MCT oil has a more neutral taste and is easier to digest than other MCT oils, making it a great option for you if you are following a ketogenic diet.
